POLICE chiefs renewed their call for London City Airport to meet the full cost of policing the Silvertown terminal.
At a meeting last week they said airport operators should pay for policing the UK's major air terminals, whether or not they are required to do so under current legislation.
Under the Civil Aviation Act 1982, nine designated airports - including Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester and Glasgow - are required to contribute to policing costs.
London City Airport is a "non-designated" airport, with policing costs effectively met by the taxpayer through the general police fund. The police also brought up the issue of cost in December.
